Coffee Moustache

This week on CCEE Stampers we are asked to put a moustache on our cards.

 November is also known as Movember which is a time to celebrate and raise funds for male issues.
 For our challenge this month include a Moustache (Mo) on your card in some way.


I have been wanting to use this Thanks a Latte stamp set for Lawn Fawn for ages. It is kind of quirky to add faces to the cups, they looked so sweet. I coloured the images to match the designer paper in the background. It just so happened that I had a jar of shaker sequins on my desk waiting to be used, it has been so long since I have made a shaker card, I just love the way it turned out. With so much going on the front this inside looked rather plain so I just added the pop - up inside last minute.



Supplies: 
Lawn Fawn - Thanks a Latte stamp set
Stitched Hillside Backdrop.
Karen Burniston - 1011 - Katherine Label pop -up die
1054 - Crosshatch rectangle die

Snow Drift Blessings

Today we have another challenge hosted by Nicky for the Crazy 4 Challenges blog.

For this challenge, I was trying to find ideas that I haven't seen in other challenges so. I thought that it would be fun to use a card that we had received from someone else as inspiration. It can be a handmade card or a store-bought card.

I went craft shopping with a friend the other day and purchased a few things. My friend commented that I happen to have a snow theme happening, so I just continued with the theme for today's card.

I created my with several die sets from Karen Burniston.
1064 - Christmas tress pop stand
1011 - Katherine Label pop-up
1006 - Nature Edges
1017 - Snowmen
 The sentiment is from the stampendous stamps set holiday expressions.







This is my inspiration card, I received it last year. You can following the link for more detailed information on how to make the original card here.

Coffee Happy




It is Craft Time with the team at CCEE Stampers blog.

A new month means a new hostess this time it is Frances.


Apparently tomorrow (8th November) is Cappuccino day, so for our challenge this week create a coffee themed card.




I have used the Altenew Liquid Marble stencil and several shades of distress inks to create my background. I wanted the background to be the highlight so I just used a die cut coffee cup on the front of the card.
Inside I made two more panels of the marble card and added the Karen Burniston pop-up coffee cup. The sentiments used are from Simon says stamp and Cas-ual Fridays.

Liquorice allsorts kind of day

Hello,

Nicky is our  Hostess for the first time this month and we welcome her Guest designer Lisa.

So let's get to it, according to the days of the year calendar tomorrow (November 3rd) is Candy Day, so our challenge is to make a candy-themed card.



All the stamps images I have used are from the free set in the Creative Stamping Magazine issue 39. I used my Misti to help with the positioning the liqourice allsorts images. The candy jar is fussy cut out and I edged it a dark copic pen and popped it up with foam tape.

Inside I have used Karen Burniston Katherine Label pop-up dies and and the Circles from the Snowman twist circle dies.
